Anni's Cancer Companion - An A-Z of treatments, therapies and healing

“Outstanding... this is a book I'd want if I were diagnosed with cancer.” - Professor Karol Sikora

Anni Matthews believed that knowledge could bring hope, choices and empowerment. When she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, she turned the energy and drive that had propelled her to the top of a property management company towards learning all she could, about cancer and the myriad conventional and alternative therapies
available.

Anni’s Cancer Companion is the result of years of this research. It combines detailed information about the many different treatments available, with first hand accounts from Anni of their benefits and drawbacks.

“I am very aware that many people with a diagnosis of cancer do not have the time to find out more about all the therapies that can help them.  This book is for you.” - Anni Matthews

Better diagnostics and earlier treatment mean that this is a time of great hope for people living with cancer, but it also means that those looking for information post-diagnosis can feel inundated with contradictory advice. Anni’s book offers a hand to hold for people finding their way through. 

“Although conventional treatments are getting better all the time, both in terms of reduced side effects and improved cure rates, integrated medicine and complementary therapies of many types have become increasingly popular with patients. Surveys have shown that in addition to their orthodox treatment up to 70% of women and 40% of men with cancer are using some form of complementary or alternative therapy.” - From the Foreword by Professor Karol Sikora

Anni’s Cancer Companion has been edited by medical professionals and approved by leading oncologists. It is designed to support people dealing with a disease that someone in the UK is diagnosed with every two minutes. It is not just a memoir about an inspirational woman’s battle with cancer, nor is it just a self help book, or encyclopaedia on the subject. It is all three, the product of three years of intensive research, interwoven with the personal experiences of a woman who spent her final years as a dedicated spokesperson for cancer sufferers. It is Anni’s legacy.
